    Default Sophie on Vacation

    I took this photograph along Lake Martin in Breaux Bridge, La. The lake must have had over a thousand nesting Birds, herons, etc. Problem was, even with my 300 f/2.8 with a 2x extender on my Canon 50D, they were too far, but what a sight. Maybe I do need that 800mm. But Sophie was really enjoying watching the whole scene.

    Richard:

    A very happy dog. Lovely colors, very spring like.

    Thanks so much for sharing. Makes you think about enjoying what we have, not always looking for something better.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Happy dog and nice setting, she obviously doesn't worry about focal length. :)
